Thanks to
Bill Millar for sending through details of this year's
Jesus Flickfest. For those not in the know, Jesus Flickfest is an annual film festival that occurs in the run up to Easter in Winnipeg, Canada. As ever there's an eclectic mix from
Last Temptation of Christ to
Inside Bob Dylan’s Jesus Years via the festival's traditional high point - the sing-a-long
Jesus Christ Superstar. Perhaps the highlight of the programme (reproduced in full below) is Roberto Rossellini's
Il Messia, but there are no shortage of good titles, as you can see:
